I have this vision of BC in my mind. I have had it for many a year.

I picture just green rolling hills, gorgeous forests, lush green fields, etc

I do not know why I have this vision of it like that.

I want to see it first hand and also never ruin the illusion of how it appears in my kind

Is that weird? It is me so probably haha.

Been about five or six years since I’ve traveled to either of your areas, I liked going up there in the spring and summer but not so much in the winter :cold_face:.

Must be a lot of truth to this global warming for it to be this warm up there this early in the year aye (Yeah I learned a little slang while up there, LOL)
It’s unusually hot here in the Carolinas this early in the year too, Seems like it almost jumped from Spring straight to summer here with 96 degrees Fahrenheit (35.5 Celsius) for highs the next 2 days

Well Ya’ll try to stay cool up there and if there’s any cool air to spare throw some our way, LOL :rofl:

We are the opposite. We have been below, way below normal for months now. And really damp.:cloud_with_rain:

I remember you saying that you were from near Detroit, Michigan; I wonder if being this past winter it was colder maybe the Great Lakes need more time to warm up; Ya’ll are surrounded by water and cold water with air warming up puts more moisture in the air; Hopefully ya’ll will have a great summer to make up for it. :crossed_fingers:

I love the smell of the air after a rainstorm in the morning or evening. It makes me feel refreshed and calm. I got to enjoy that and the sunrise with my cup of coffee this morning. ~is content~

Oddly enough, I love the smell of freshly wet asphalt. I don’t know what it is, but I have liked that smell since I was young.

I dunno, I think there’s a bit more going on in Barry (the show overall). There’s something quite… Hamlet-ish about it I cannot yet put my finger on, though that may be because I’m picking the wrong Tragedy. Certainly it’s an anti-hero tale as much as Dexter or Breaking Bad was. Fairly eager for S03 of it.

ay, who are you to complain?
it’s 1AM here and the masked lapwings are having a moan about how the rain/snow/sleet/hail has been annoying them/temporarily stopped (IDK I don’t speak lapwing)

Crack of thunder DIRECTLY over my house made me and my two boys jump.

I love that there is an actual word, petrichor, for the smell of soil when it goes from dry to damp in a rain. There are studies out there that found two common components of the smell after rain: an oily secretion some plants make when it’s dry that the rain picks up, and chemicals created by soil bacteria. Another common smell during a rain is apparently ozone, which sometimes can be picked up from the air before the rain arrives.

LOL, I got a lousy 18-wheeler driver mad at me this morning. Not by doing anything wrong or dangerous. Quite the opposite. He was driving like he was in a consumer car - lane-hopping, using exit-only lanes to get ahead of traffic and merging back in after the split from the freeway. Sooo I just happened to get ahead of him getting into my exit only lane … and drove less than 5 mph faster than the right lane. He jumped right back into normal traffic as soon as he realized he wasn’t going to get to ahead that way - and I went on my merry way, still not needing to go any faster as the exit came up.

Petrichor? Is that a fancy word for “smells like worms outside”. Watch where you step!:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I think the really cold lakes are protecting us from the tornado’s and bad storms. They weaken when they cross the water. So I guess there is some benefit to being damp and chilly.

I forget about the bulk of my dreams. Only to be bluntly reminded when they play again. Creeps me out too.

Used to car caravan with friends from Bay Area to Central Valley. We would go over Pacheco Pass, and then head south on the 5

When I say we would have a 5 or 6 car caravan, it is not an exaggeration. We would all communicate via walkie talkie. This one time a car was weaving in and out of traffic. You know because they needed to get there 4 minutes earlier than just going with the flow. So we pinned them in for about 40 miles. We would position our caravan near a big rig in the slow lane.

As the first car slowed them down the car ahead would stay close enough to see the car behind, etc. All in all we would divide ourselves about 3 miles from front to back? We paced the semis for about 5 miles, inconsistent speeds. Just fast enough to not be able to get into the slow lane to fly past us, and then slow down towards the back of the semi.

We got a bunch of thumbs up from the truck drivers. They knew what we were doing to the person. We did it until they exited the freeway, then proceeded on our merry way, horns blowing at us from the trucks haha.

I think the entire thing slowed the caravan down 5 minutes? Well worth it to anger somebody driving like that.

The best part, every time they thought they got past it, here came another cart slowing them down. We knew it had to make them angry, especially cuz we are pretty sure we were not being told we were number 1
